So, seltzer is the pure, naked fizz. Soda water is the fizz with a mineral wardrobe.
Next time you order a drink, you can sound like a snob. “I’ll have a gin and soda, please. Not seltzer.”
Or just enjoy both. Life is too short to argue about bubbles. But now you know—and knowing is half the fun.
Go fizz with confidence. Your taste buds will thank you.
